It is a value that I inherited from my husband, late KK Modi, the founder of Modi Enterprises. When I say people, I'm referring to all stakeholders of a business - the employees, shareholders, communities, investors, customers etc. I credit the success of my ventures to the people who resonate with my objective of making a lasting positive impact on society. This honorary doctorate from Jharkhand Rai University is a validation of my philosophy. I'm humbled to accept this encouragement."
Dr Savita Sengar, Vice Chancellor of the Ranchi-based Jharkhand Rai University said, "Our university has been committed to honing and honouring remarkable leadership and contribution to society in a wide variety of fields from across the world. Dr Bina Modi's commitment to putting the people and the planet at the centre of her businesses is exemplary. It is our pleasure to confer her with an honorary doctorate degree."

This is the second time Dr Modi has been conferred an honorary doctorate.
